Authors (and husband and wife) Michael Kardos and Catherine Pierce celebrated the launch of their books together at Farley's Bookshop in New Hope, Pa. Two-time Pushcart Prize-winner Kardos's book is the crime caper Fun City Heist (Severn House), and former Poet Laureate of Mississippi Pierce's is the essay collection Foxes for Everybody: Twenty-Four Hours of Early Motherhood (Northwestern University Press). The couple served as each other's conversation partner for the event, and Farley's offered local cider to set a cozy tone for the chilly evening.
